Morning Luvlies!  Hope you've had a great weekend.  Today's card is for Crafty Sentiments and this week our theme is to use buttons.

For my card I decided to use the gorgeous stamp called "Dancing Girl", isn't she a sweetie?  The dp I have used is by Forever Friends called "Kraft Notes" and I have used various buttons from my stash. The lace and flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I have coloured the image in with my Copics and used a Die'sire decorative die "Magic Mirror" by Crafters Companion inked with  TH distress ink.  The ribbon is from my stash.  Thanks for stopping by.  Hope you'll be able to join in the fun this week over at Crafty Sentiments.  Lotsa luv, hugs xxxx

Clean and Simple at Mo's

Afternoon Folks!  Hope you've all had a fabby weekend, mine was great as it was my birthday yesterday and I was spoilt rotten!  Also Mo gave away this gorgeous image called "Thanks" as a freebie and I couldn't resist printing it out and colouring in last night hehe.

Made up this quicky card for the challenge over at DP2 as their theme this week is Clean & Simple.  Not one of my favourite theme's as I'm not very good at it but hey ho, thought I'd give it a try anyway. 

I have coloured the image in with my Copics as usual and just added some ribbon from my stash and a wooden button.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  Lotsa luv, hugs xxxx

My final creation as Guest Designer for Wee Stamps

Morning Folks!  Well here I am feeling sorry for myself as I've come to the end of my term with Wee Stamps and this is my last creation for them as GDT.  I thoroughly enjoyed my month with them and am ever so grateful to have been afforded the fabulous opportunity.

For my card I decided to have a play with an older image of Sylvia's called "Hopeful".  Also tried my hand at a CAS look but have failed miserably.  Well it's more clean and simple than I normally do lol.  The dps I have used are from a Forever Friends stack called Kraft Notes layered onto coredinations cardstock.  The borders are all Magnolia dies and the corner piece is a La-La Land die.  The lace is from Wild Orchid Crafts.

As usual I have coloured the image in with my Copics and added some glamour dust to top and glossy accents to her lantern.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  Lotsa luv, hugs xxxx
